Thanks, Sandy. This is my problem - everything i hear of costs $4 or so
a sheet. By the time a test film and a false start or two gets factored
into the picture, a set of separation negatives costs 25-30
bucks. The ortho film works well enough, either with a sandwitch of
yellow and magenta filtered negs to simulate red or a single
negative as close to red as I can get and still get an image on the
film - about 120y +200m on a color enlarger, and about 4 times the
exposure given to green and blue filtration. But, I want to do better
(and also spend less time either adding or subtracting density to
negatives). Probably, I'm after the impossible and will either have
to make do with my ortho film (about 85 cents a sheet for 11x14) or
shell out the money for a pan film.

But I appreciate your taking the time to answer my question.
